I think I will forever be the sole member of the v-u-den defense squad because they are still one of my favorite groups ever and I don’t think a lot of people have given them a fair shake. Their singles are all really great, their album Suite Room No 1 was fantastic, and they have a lot of hidden gems that don’t get a lot of attention. They have a uniformly excellent discography, and it’s a shame they disbanded when they did.
Bi Hit Parade is a force of nature. It’s got a whole lot of energy, and starts out that way. I really like how the song transitions from verse to chorus – the verses have a darker feel, get progressively better, until the chorus is bright and happy. Even though the level of energy in the song remains mostly static, I really like how the tone of the song shifts. It’s also something that works very well – none of it feels forced or sudden.
Bi Hit Parade has a great melody and is just one of the many great songs by v-u-den.
